How Many Times Have You Watched Susan Boyle?

By Jeralyn

Via Jane Hamsher@ Twitter:

So how many times have you watched Susan Boyle?

My answer: At least six, I never get tired of watching it. She was great on Larry King Live tonight as well. I don't know which I like watching more, her singing or the judges' and audience reaction to her when she first started to sing. (Video link here.)

It's great that one person can make so many people in so many countries smile. More than 30 million viewers on You Tube in under a week. I wonder if that's a record.

The reaction among commenters here the other night were terrific. I'm reprinting a few below: [More...]

Anne:

I had chills when she opened her mouth and that beautiful voice came out.

Inspector Gadget:

The world needed a touch of what's real right now. I thought she had a special joy inside her during the introductory interviews (backstage and on stage). She did not show any uneasiness in who she is at all. People who judge by appearance miss a great deal in life, IMHO.

Befuddled Voter:

What a once in a lifetime voice.

MoBlue:

From mockery to amazement in the blink of an eye. Talent wins out. What a fantastic concept.

BocaJeff:

When I first saw the clip and watched the judges and audience reactions grow from dismissal to grand acceptance I swear the smile on my face was from ear to ear and then some. What a gift she has given to everyone - first her voice and then the lesson to never, ever judge a book by its cover...
